Said to Give
Beef Profits
Penn State stated this week
during Northeastern meetings of
the Society of Animal Science at
Kingston, R.I.
Dr, Lowell L. Wilson of Penn
State said experiments with
zeranol increased weight gains of
beef heifers by at least 7 per cent,
and steers by at least 9 per cent,
compared to untreated animals.
Zeranol and other growth
promoting chemicals were tested
as implants under the skin of the
animal’s ear.
Approved by the Food and
Drug Administration, zeranol
gives weight gains similar to
DBS (diethylstilbestrol), a
growth-promotant no longer
permitted by the FDA, Dr.

Wilson pointed out. Zeranol is
marketed under the trade name
of Ral-Gro.
Earlier Penn State trials have
indicated that zeranol has no
harmful effect on carcass
meatiness or carcass quality.
The studies, past and present, are
carried out within the
Agricultural Experiment Station
of the College of Agriculture.
The zeranol implants were
used on 60 heifers and 276 steers
in feedlot tests. The implant
dosage was 36 milligrams for
each animal. The feedlot trials
were underway for 112 days.
Implanting with a combination of
zeranol and other implants was
no better than zeranol alone.

NUTRITION A LA CARTE
• People ask me about choles
terol and I tell them research has
a long way to go before we will
have answers. The question of
whether the foods we eat have
anything to do with heart disease
has not been settled. Meantime,
drastic changes in your diet
should not be made without med
ical advice.
• Medical research has shown
that the great majority of babies
in excellent or good condition at
birth are babies of mothers whose
diets were excellent or good. The
mothers, too, enjoyed better
health and had fewer complica
tions in pregnancy. This is why
mothers-to-be should know and
practice good nutrition.
• Is there an overweight or obese
teenager in your house? At Har
vard they found that such young
sters gain weight not because
they eat more than their thinner
schoolmates, but because they ex
ercise less. They were physically
inactive 90% of the time and
often ate less food.
• Phosphorus in your diet
and milk is a good source is
needed in every living cell. It’s
involved in chemical interactions
with protein, fats, and carbohy
drates in giving the body energy
Cattle in the experiments were
fed corn silage, a limited amount
of crushed ear com, and a 12 per
cent ration of protein sup
plement. The cattle were fed
twice daily.
Zeranol has also been used
successfully to increase sharply
the weaning weights of steer
calves implanted at an average
age of 87 days.

able in many foods, especially
those -rich in protein or calcium.
• For dental health eat a bal
anced diet and choose snacks that
won’t stick to your teeth. Good
snacks include milk, fresh fruits,
crisp celery or carrot sticks, let
tuce or cabbage. Also, unsweet
ened ready-to-eat cereal. You can
make a delightful snack by dip
ping celery ends into softened
cream cheese dip.
• A little safety along with good
meals for your family is a good
idea The kitchen can be one of
the most dangerous places in the
house if we aren’t careful. Keep
hot things out of tne reach of
children. Also poisons, sharp
utensils, electric appliances, and
especially hot grease and cooking
oils.
• Anemia is a frequent problem
among women of childbearing age
and teen-age girls. It is caused
by inadequate iron reserves in the
body and not enough iron in the
diet. Good food sources of iron
include whole grain and enriched
cereal products, eggs, meat and
poultry, apricots, prunes, and
raisins.
It is a good habit to stay near
your boat while swimming. This
is because a glare on water or
choppy conditions make it dif
ficult for people operating other
boats to see swimmers, reminds
